“…Nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are smog precursors, are found in the combustion of natural gas, as shown by Alvarez et al (2012). Dechezleprêtre & Sato (2017) have reviewed the empirical literature on the impacts of environmental regulations on firm competitiveness as measured by trade, industry location, employment, productivity and innovation (Androniceanu & Drăgulănescu, 2016). As measures to address competitiveness impacts are increasingly incorporated into the design of environmental regulations, future research will be needed to assess the validity and effectiveness of such measures as well as to ensure they are compatible with the environmental objectives of the policies.…”

Protecting the environment and maintaining the EU's competitiveness must be inextricably linked. From this perspective, the scope of present article may be seen as quite timely. Air pollution is the main environmental risk factor contributing to deterioration of the health of the population, and consequently influences the economic development of the state. The usage of hard fuels for the heating of local dwellings is one of the most important sources of local air pollution. The aim of this paper is to identify the relationship between the pollution caused by heating and the health of the population. The health status of the population was assessed using the potential years of life lost per 100,000 inhabitants. Data on the energy sources used for heating were taken from a survey of all dwellings in the Slovak Republic from the 2011 census of inhabitants, homes and apartments. To create clusters of similar municipalities in terms of the variables considered, we used the fuzzy cluster analysis for individual size-standard groups of municipalities. The map view of the fuzzy cluster analysis results confirmed the division of the Slovak Republic into two regions-the north, which showed more favorable results and the south, which showed negative findings. The membership function values of the first cluster indicate a significant positive spatial autocorrelation as measured by Moran's coefficient. A local Moran cluster map identified the areas of interest investigated below.

“…A single currency should be set up, preserved, and secured. If left to unstructured market forces, monetary-financial unification may also generate centralization [59][60][61][62] and intensification of risks or their transference onto the member states that are least adequate to bear them. A currency union covers distributing pre-existing (exogenous) risks and handling (endogenous) ones that arise with integration, necessitating teamwork despite many difficulties that member economies of the risk pool might oppose particular instances of linkage.…”

Stabilizing Valences of an Optimum Monetary Zone in a Resilient Economy—Approaches and Limitations

: Following De Grauwe (2016), this research advances the idea according to which economies that are part of a monetary union issue debt in a medium of exchange they cannot control: financial markets develop the capacity to impose default on such economies. We are interested in how previous research analyzed the notion that, when economies are autonomous and they employ the exchange rate as a vehicle to handle asymmetric shocks, they confront comparable constraints on the performance of exchange rate strategies. When a monetary union is affected by significant asymmetric shocks, the member economies have to deal with tough adjustment issues. Empirical and secondary data are used to back the assertion that, in a monetary union, economies that are affected by long-lasting asymmetric demand shocks demand wage elasticity and labor flexibility to rectify for them, and if the latter generate substantial budget deficits, financial markets tend to intensify the consequences of the asymmetric shocks, boosting the demand for severe regulation of wages and labor flexibility. Our article makes conceptual and methodological contributions to the view that member economies of a monetary union are exposed to varying market reactions, generating more volatility in the business cycle: an economy undergoing a recession and a rise in the budget deficit might be affected by wide-ranging transactions of its government bonds, causing a liquidity crisis and superior interest rates, and possibly coercing the government of that economy to adopt budgetary austerity measures, thus intensifying the recession.

“…Controversies will focus on definitional technicalities concerning whether he overstepped standards for performing research on human subjects. 7 The Boghossian et al's sting on scholarly world is meant to have brought to light the presumed fallaciousness and shadiness that operate throughout such research fields (Hawkley, 2018;McKinlay, 2018;Nica, Manole, & Stan, 2018;Popescu Ljungholm, 2018;Sion, 2018b). The hoaxers argue that the unconcern of 'grievance studies' for unbiased truth has generated a pervasive falsification of knowledge.…”

During the past two years, Peter Boghossian, assistant professor of philosophy at Portland State University (PSU), James Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose (both independent scholars) concocted 20 absurd articles employing trendy terminology to validate unreasonable conclusions, and attempted to have them published in outstanding journals in fields covering gender, queer, and fat topics. In October 2018, when they took their investigation public, seven pieces had been accepted, other seven were still being inspected in diverse phases of the review process, and six had been rejected. Repudiating 'western astronomy' as discriminatory and imperialist, one of their outright crazy papers pleads for physics departments to conduct research into feminist astrology or perform interpretative dance. Other papers make shocking claims such as a canine rape culture was observed in a Portland dog park or men who masturbate while brooding over a woman without her permission commit sexual violence. A piece recommends severe measures to compensate the 'privilege' of white undergraduates, for example, teaching staff should perform patterns of 'experiential reparations', by asking socially advantaged students to remain silent, or chaining them to the floor. Another indicates that the word bodybuilding is exclusionary and thus 'fat bodybuilding, as a fat-inclusive politicized performance' would be more appropriate, while a bogus paper is to some extent made up of a reworked passage from Hitler's Mein Kampf. This hoax brings to light the shoddy standards of the scholarly outlets that put out such pablum, but it also illustrates the degree to which some of them are compliant to allow bias if it satisfies arguably progressive objectives. The hoaxers succeeded in publishing articles in highprofile journals in the set of fields that addresses topics of race, gender, and identity, but the outstanding outlets of more established disciplines rejected their submissions. 1 Boghossian et al. maintain that academic performance based not as much upon discovering truth but especially dealing with social grievances is purposefully consolidated in particular fields within the humanities whose shared aim is to problematize features of culture meticulously, undertaking confirmations of power inequities and maltreatment deep-seated in identity. Boghossian et al.'s paper-producing methodology proceeded with a proposal that examined their epistemological or ethical implications with the topic and then attempted to harmonize the available peer-reviewed literature to support it, getting some tiny proportion of nonsense or nefariousness (something meaningless and/or deeply unethical) to be suitable at the topmost levels of enlightened integrity within the field. Then they adjusted the current scholarship so that their papers get placed in the donnish canon (i.e. outstanding peer-reviewed journals in gender studies and associated domains that may be vulnerable to a sheer hoax provided that it exploits their moral predispositions and well-liked academic jargon).
